Title: inglorious basterds
Post by: Jar O Pickles on August 22, 2009, 03:43:30 PM: just saw it and i liked it very much buuuuttttttt............

it is probably his least approachable film. even less approachable than jackie brown
trailers bill it as a jewish dirty dozen which it is not. This is what i was expecting and it turned out to be something completely different
if you really really like tarantino then go see it now, if you kinda like him wait for dvd and if you you not sure or this would be your first tarantino film dont bother

otherwise i thought it was his funniest movie and it has some of his best dialogue scenes but they are subtitled so it\'s not quite like his other movies

ok i\'m done

Post by: Joker on August 23, 2009, 05:49:14 AM: Also looking forward to seeing it. Like Vid i\'ll probably end up renting it rather than seeing it in theater.

a lil off topic but did anyone happen to see District 9? I did and loved it. Amazing what they did on that small a budget.

Too many assholes. But it is summer time so even those are kinda busy, so i\'ve been going to the drive in all summer :D Surely my favorite place to watch a movie. I think I enjoy the atmosphere at the drive in as much as the movies.

Post by: clips on August 23, 2009, 07:43:23 AM: I didn\'t even think drive ins existed anymore...i haven\'t been to a drive in since i was like 5..and the movie i watched i think the name of it was.."food of the gods"....which i didn\'t understand because all it was about was giant rats killing and eating people...:D

Post by: Sublimesjg on August 24, 2009, 12:50:24 AM: i thought the movie was great

but it is very dialogue based which some people like you said might think otherwise from trailers

Post by: THX on August 24, 2009, 08:04:32 AM: About 30min of the film could have been cut, or simply replaced with decent character development. There were only 1 or 2 escapades with the Basterds that weren\'t short 20 second snippets.

After we left the theater we agreed it was our least favorite Tarantino film, but a couple days later and it\'s kinda growing on me. Either way, he needs to branch out and do something a little different next time. I think we\'re overdue for a good clue-style mystery whodunit

Post by: nO-One on August 24, 2009, 05:41:46 PM: Funny how it wasn\'t really about the inglorious basterds, I liked it though. Hans Landa was awesome, that character made the movie

Post by: Joker on August 25, 2009, 08:26:36 AM: Checked out IB last night. Wickedly fun time at the movies. Christoph Waltz (the guy who plays Hans Landa) deserves some kind of award...or a suitcase full of money, something extra, because he definitely stole the show

Post by: Coredweller on August 29, 2009, 08:27:32 PM: I saw Inglourious Basterds last weekend. I did enjoy it greatly, but I don\'t think it\'s as accessible to the mass market as his past films. That\'s OK with me!

As usual, there were heaps of references to great WWII movies of the past. There is more than one reference to Sam Fuller\'s "The Big Red One." (Try to see the Reconstruction version if you can) For example, the scene in which the British agent was exposed in the bar is a reference to the scene where the German spies were exposed because of the way they cut their meat. At least that\'s what I thought of.
